Mini-Project: Women in Politics 1. Randomly pick a state and randomly pick a legislative body by tossing a coin - heads for the state house of representatives and tails for the state senate. Search for the list of current state legislators at the chosen legislative body of the chosen state. State: Connecticut Legislative Chamber: State Senate Link to the website: Connecticut State Senate - Wikipedia 2. Collect the data on ALL legislators regarding their gender and political party affiliation and organize the data in the form of a two-way frequency table. Male (M) Female (F) Total Republican (R) W WII = 12 | = 1 13 Democrat (D) 23 Total 27 9 36 3. Find P (M), P(F), P(D F), and P(DIM). P(M) = 27 36 = 0.75 = 75% 9 P(F) = 36 = 0.25 = 25% P(D F) = = 0.89 = 89% 15 P(DIM) = 27 = 0.56 = 56% 4. Verify or dispute the following statements: Since P(M) = 75% > 25% = P(F) the statement "the probability of a randomly selected politician being a male is greater than being a female" is _TRUE_for _CONNECTICUT_. Since P(D|F) = 89% > 56% = P(DIM) the statement "the probability of a randomly selected person being a democrat is greater if it is a female rather than a male" is _TRUE_for _CONNECTICUT_
